Apologize

I am awed by the guy
Who has no failures
In need of expiation,
And enjoys a pristine view of the road behind.

Only one claiming deification
Could hold to such perfection.
Western religions might unite
In stoning his sorry ass.

My own list of misplays,
Lapses and relapses,
Laid end-to-end
Would circle the globe... thrice.

With enough money,
And if technology allows,
I might add a coda to my will,
Broadcast by 100 satellites, “Sorry”.

Of course a universal apology might seem
To lack a certain sensitivity.
Perhaps a message of hope might work?
“You’ll never hear from me again”!
